          He probably quarter squatted 320, surely the info must be true in some capacity otherwise its false advertising?

          That’s 3.5x his body weight. It’s A LOT but it is possible.

          According to that he uses machines, would explain a lot. Also says he only goes quite light…

          I think we will never get to the bottom of this whilst he is still competing.

          Smith machine 1/4 squats.

          I just saw the ad and chuckled a bit. Figured you all would enjoy it as well

          An old shitty article…..according to Mills they use both free weights and machines, mainly free weights…he has gotten way bigger in the last 3 years..

          People can lift massive amounts with partial squats, and then call it a ‘squat’.

          I’ve lifted 375kg for partials, yet only 180k for parallel. A triple jumper I know with Bolts build also does partial squats at 300+kg.

          As for the merit of partials… well, that’s and entirely different discussion of course!

          I say start start a thread for discussion on partials. I’m always up for some good discourse
